Two years ago, we redesigned a 1-mile stretch of Rainier Ave S in Columbia City and Hillman City to improve safety for all travelers. We’ve seen great results, including reduced speeds and collisions, so we’re looking to extend those safety gains further south along the corridor with Phase 2 of the project. Improving safety on high crash corridors like Rainier is a key element of our Vision Zero effort to end traffic deaths and serious injuries on city streets by 2030.

Last month, we shared two Phase 2 design options for community consideration. This walking tour (which will include a bus ride too!) offers a great opportunity share your thoughts on the project.

So, the details:
